500ml bottle from Morrisons Online. Clear gold pour, thin white fizzy head. Aroma is malty, floral and a sharp citrus note. Light bodied but not watery, refreshing but dry, pale malts, with a decent fruity citrus, pine bitterness, a slight note of cardboard unfortunately. Not bad for the strength.

Cask at the Cornfield Garage, Eastbourne. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, light citrus hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a somewhat light, smooth, fresh, yeasty, light citrus, earthy, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Keg @ Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. Clear golden with a light carbonation and a small head. Crisp hoppy, seems like to have a more fuller strength than the previous version as it's a full-bodied brew. More IPA than pale for me but certainly in the same family of beers. Mild slightly stewed fruits.

Bradford Beer Festival 2024. Clear golden ale. Quite dense for its taste, perhaps my festival glass needed changing from the dark ales supped at this point. Sessionable citrus in both aroma and taste more than evident with a lingering tropical aftertaste.
